Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Pansy sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Pansy in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in November and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Pansy sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Brown Pansy sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 5th at about 30%. The best odds are in Bako National Park (Malaysia, about 50%), Litchfield National Park (Australia, about 30%) and Sepilok (Malaysia, about 30%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Pansy is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (45 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
